Enjambre

Born around the Navejas brothers between Fresnillo, in the state of Zacatecas, and Santa Ana in California, Enjambre formed in the early 2000s before establishing itself on the Mexican rock scene with a sound that blends indie rock, alternative rock, pop rock and Spanish-language rock, threaded by vintage references ranging from psychedelia to post-punk revival, with bolero inflections at times. The band stabilized around Luis Humberto Navejas on vocals, Rafael Navejas on bass, Julián Navejas on keyboards, Ángel Sánchez on drums and, more recently, Isaac Navejas on guitar. After Consuelo en domingo in 2005 and El segundo es felino in 2008, Enjambre broadened its audience with Daltónico in 2010, then continued with Los huéspedes del orbe in 2012, Proaño in 2014, Imperfecto extraño in 2017 and Próximos prójimos in 2020. Their writing is distinguished by highly crafted melodies, a significant emphasis on keyboards, prominent bass lines and a voice with theatrical phrasing, in a balance between melancholy, romance and rhythmic tension. Enjambre has also developed parallel formats, such as the Ambrosia EP in 2021, sung in English, followed by Noches de salón in 2023, a stage reinterpretation of their repertoire in an aesthetic inspired by dance halls and Latin American music of the era. Present at festivals such as Vive Latino and Pa’l Norte, Enjambre has also toured extensively in Mexico and the United States, with a few occasional collaborations, notably with Denise Gutiérrez, Estelares and No Te Va Gustar.
